A guide for this piece: about $231, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

A scene in one garment
Twenty years of RATS, told with the help of its oldest neighbours: NEIGHBORHOOD on one arm, WTAPS on the other. The melton body and leather sleeves keep the classic varsity build, which makes this the more wearable of the anniversary pair and the one that will age most gracefully.
Best for: Collectors of Tokyo street labels; classic black varsity wardrobes
Condition notes
Some signs of wear, with light pilling to the wool body. Leather sleeves, chenille and patches read well in the photographs.
Grades, ratings and commentary are given to the best of our ability, knowledge and experience, and condition remains partly a matter of personal perception. What we stand behind without qualification is authenticity, truthful description and provenance, to the best of our knowledge. How we grade

The wool-bodied version of the RATS twentieth anniversary varsity jacket, reference 25SPJ-0102: black melton body, black cowhide sleeves, a chenille R and a rat holding the number 20 on the chest, and Way of Life written large across the back. Tagged L.
The Piece
The front gathers the story. A black chenille rat, outlined in white, clutches the figure 20 beside a tall white R with a curling tail. The sleeves carry the guests: a woven NEIGHBORHOOD roundel reading Craft with Pride above a chenille panther on one arm, a WTAPS Concrete Environment oval above a WTVUA Urban Territory patch on the other.
On the back, Way of Life is stacked in white chenille over a long rat's tail. Snaps close the front, black rib finishes collar, cuffs and hem, and the inside is lined in black diamond quilting. The hang label names all three houses, RATS, NEIGHBORHOOD and WTAPS, with the rat, 20th and est. 2005, so the jacket records two decades of a Tokyo street label in its own hand.
